Although it left it, it knew that it was right, it made it down, because it didn't know what's up.
Twilight gets a visit from a familiar stranger. Except it's not a stranger. It's Twilight, from the future. As future Twilight hangs out with past Twilight, past Twilight comes to a startling realisation... Her future self is kind of a jerk!
Quite obviously blatantly copied from based and expanded from this comic by 1trickpone.

what
I am so glad right now that this story isn't tagged romance.
'Cause I kind of think I've seen that done before: https://www.fimfiction.net/story/9562/perfect-for-me
I can only imagine future Cadence.
Sunny's back for revenge.
6958422 *looks at your username* How can such different terms share such similar spellings?

Probably because there is not such a great difference between getting socked and getting shocked in the face.
This is when you GET Celestia to GET SOMEONE ELSE to research a way to prevent your future self from invading your time-line. If you did it yourself then your future doppleganger would know and your research would be fruitless. If you asked someone then Future-Twi would know WHO you asked and would be able to stop you, BUT if you ask Celestia then you have asked someone Future-Twi likely can't coerce and you won't know who is doing the research so you won't be able to stop him/her. As bad as it seems you shouldn't research it yourself even independently because that is only giving yourself ammunition.
Paradox: A universal mechanism designed to confuse.
In which, Future Twilight shall take full advantage of.
Looking forward to more.
good story so far... but my plushie brain hurts.. i'mma go lay down..
Sheesh if you want a princess level pony to prank, try Chrysalis, or even Discord.
6959736 nah i think that wouldn't be good in the long run.. i mean it would work but then discord would get pinkie and maybe rainbow then prank you back with twice the prank of what you pranked him with... oh my celestia it would be a never ending prank war.. but then Flutters would come and prank them all.. because it's always the quiet ones you gotta watch out for..
also darn you future twilight.. stop bring a meany pants..
That analogy is backwards.
Nice story. Can't wait to read more Future-Twilight shenanigans!!!
Have a grinning Pinkie:
.
I've yet to read this but I think Twilight's reaction to this is "Oh no... Not again!"
This is amazing.
25 in this chapter, if you count the actual narration.
Loving this so far
Tiny typo
in a while
You future she is an immortal Alicorn Twilight, you've gotten.. eccentric as immortals do.
Wonder if there's something dark here and Future-Twilight is trying to loosen up her past self to prevent some cold and lonely future she ends up in, full of regrets.
Wow. Future Twilight would make Discord proud.

Pfft! Romance? I've written Twilight x Future Twilight, tagged Sex.

...thanks for the warning, I guess.
I loved how yolo-like older twilight is and how she always manages to sett current Twilight off. Well done, dear writer, well done!
Decoration. "Decorum" refers to pomp and circumstance. It's a way of behaving in formal situations.
Causality kinda don't work like dat, bro. Information in the physical sense is structured, ordered change, not knowledge. By moving yourself or anything else to the past, you are spontaneously creating information, even if you don't know it.
6962169 Twilight is using 'information' in a different sense. Loosely, it's just her term for 'foreknowledge'. Knowledge of the future brought to the past is violation in that sense. She's not using strictly physics or metaphysical definitions here, also it's based off a book that's nearly a thousand years old, so, you know, inconsistencies.
For Decorum... I'm just an idiot.
Edit: I probably thought of decor, and just flubbed it up, thanks.

Eh, ok then. It looked to me like it was one of those stories that try to explain magic in real-world physical terms, you know the sort. That always falls kind of flat to me.
I kinda want to see one do this the Dune way sometime. The Golden Path is one of the more interesting paradoxes of foreknowledge in literature, I think.
That's disproved in "It's About Time". Future Twilight told past Twilight where the time spells were, but she knew that because, when she was past Twilight, future Twilight told her that. Twilight's knowledge of time spells only came about because of Twilight's knowledge of time spells.
Still, that's a pretty minor issue, and this IS an AU fic. Let's just say time travel works differently in this fic and enjoy it.
well this looks interesting.
I'm so glad I learned long ago that when it comes to discussing time travel, it's best not to totally focus on it as that just leads to migraines and confusing the likes of which have rarely been seen.
just accept it, don't question it and move on.
and I have caught up to the author. damnit, onto tracking you little story.
"Because Future Twilight led me to it and showed me, duh!"
Cool story, liked!
It's pretty difficult no doubt, but it can be done, it's not impossible.
The key is to find ways to protect and save yourself that not even you could ever overcome.
...It's the "ever" part that might be a pretty high place to aim tho, so start with basic insurance and then just move yourself up...
and up...
for as long as you have to...

This definitely caught my attention. I don't know why exactly, but I love the thought of a younger version of a character thinking the older version is a jerk and, well, just not getting along with herself.
Pretty interesting so far, and my only regret is that I caught up to the current chapter too soon.
Specially for yourself
~Leonzilla
Sabotaging your past self?
Now this is like...
Which leads to...
Gosh, I hope that it's not what you are planning on doing here. D:
~Leonzilla
Why doesn't she just kill her future self if she is angering her?
She's only just killing herself, it's not a crime.
Kill yourself Twilight.
6964762 D: That would escalate quickly in an E rated fic.
I can't believe present Twilight hasn't figured out what's going on yet. It's pretty clear why future Twilight has come back.
Back to the Future reference, anypony?

I hate closed time loops so much, you don't even know. Seriously. They're the ultimate in cheap, lazy plotting. They don't need any explanation or reason, they just happen ex nihilo, kind of by definition. I've seriously never seen it done well before. It always ends up being contrived and railroaded. The best thing you can really do is play it for humor, like in this one.
I really hope the note is mostly gibberish
Ouch.
No
6961632
Future Twilight is making herself a better princess of friendship by altering the past. Still think that note is going to be gibberish
No, it wouldn't.
6962390
Also the spell is a different one since not limited to once and only for one minute
Oh no, only two chapters left T_T.
Aww, poor Twilight. Both of them.
